  • 【Identification】

(1) The powder of this product is yellow-green. Inulin is common, and radial texture appears on the surface. The wood fibers are mostly bundled, long fusiform, with a diameter of 16-24 μm, and the pores are transversely cracked, cross-shaped or herringbone-shaped. Reticular vessels are common, and there are also L-shaped vessels with margins, with a diameter of 30-90 μm. Oil chamber fragments are sometimes visible, containing yellow or brown secretions.

(2) Take 0.5 g of this product powder, add 10 ml of methanol, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, filter, and take the filtrate as the test solution. Take dehydrocostus lactone reference substance and costus lactone reference substance separately, add methanol to make solutions containing 0.5 mg per 1 ml, as reference substance solutions. According to the thin layer chromatography method (General Rule 0502), take 5 of each of the above three solutions and spot them on the same silica gel G thin layer plate, use the upper layer solution of cyclohexane-ethyl formate-formic acid (15:5:1) as the developing agent, develop, take out, dry, spray with 1% vanillin sulfuric acid solution, and heat until the spots are clearly colored. In the chromatogram of the test sample, spots of the same color appear at the corresponding position of the chromatogram of the reference substance.
